[quote Pops][quote Marc Anthony]If the city wants to send you a fine, don't they typically do so through the mail? I'm wondering why an officer was on her property, physically grabbing her, without a warrant.
If you've seen pictures of her property, I'd guess that NUMEROUS mailed citations had been sent and ignored.
Most municipalities try sending those tickets/citations in a non-legal manner (ie: not served properly by a peace officer who guarantees identification, as in a subpena). Ignored, they have no legal standing, hence a final attempt is by an officer.
That said, I have NO opinion on whether they were "correct" in citing her or making an arrest.
Watch PBS/POV's Flag Wars. I just did. Gives good idea WHY people have property violations and how they are used against people. It's sad in some ways. (Mental illness/physical illness, etc. )
